Question was answered by the above post. Its more like DOM than 2C-D - meaning its a true psychedelic.
Your guess is incorrect, I suppose. NBOMe-2C-X chemicals do have similarities with regular 2C-X, they are, so to say, less demanding, than DOX. Their effects are less annoying or "noisy", making it easier to concentrate on either external or internal events. Also, a person sustaining them well will be able to stay concious even in a 10-15x overdose, something that happens in the 2C-X world, but nearly impossible in DOX. At the same time not everyone sustain them well, they have a steeper "dose-effects" curve, and sometimes higher "psychedelic" potential, than 2C-X do, like DOX. And sometimes also share interesting mind effects of the related DOX chemicals.
I'd say they are neither quite like 2C-X, nor like DOX, but are something on their own.
Erny - I wasn't aware NBOMe-2C-I had been assayed yet... Any reports on this one? I'd definitely be curious to see if it has the nastiness of DOI and 2C-I.
Here again - new people come to ask the same questions. Obviously you haven't read anything related on this board before asking, although I never gave a detailed description for this one there.
NBOMe-2C-I was the first of them I have tried myself and the first one to appear on an illicit market here under the brand name "Solaris", late summer 2007. Currently this name refers to any NBOMe on a glycine tablet (a common cheap innocuous medicine for sublingual administration).
I do not get what is 2C-I and DOI nastiness you are talking about, I see those two as a remarkable visual experience and something that is easy on the mind (not paranoid, not frightening etc), but little else than that. One may also find there some good humour and an an opened, euphoric state of mind good for social tripping, reminiscent of empathogens or acid. This effect is barely noticeable in these two however, and not really reproducible, but is the one that shines to its full extent in NBOMe-2C-I and makes it very special. NBOMe-2C-I is amasingly positive and is a clear empathogen in an LSD manner, i. e. somewhat deeper and feeling more natural than things like MDMA. An overflowing, exuberant joy, yet not as jittery as MDMA is. This state of mind is uncommon in PIHKAL phenylethylamines and is much closer to a good LSD trip.
NBOMe-2C-I has very few side effects past the come-up, the fact that made me to regard all of them as chemicals that are easy on the body at first, unfortunatly this is not true. there is no heavyness to pull you down and pin to a single place, the body feels weightless. Like the rest, it doesn't suppress appetite, probably due to it's low affinity to 5-HT2C receptor. Yet it is mildly vasoconstrictive and thus may give you a headache shortly after returning to baseline, just like PIHKAL.
It is, of course, visually rich, like it's relatives with iodine in PIHKAL. NBOMes have less distinctive visual patterns that would repeat in every trip like those in PEAs. Besides simple visual "noise" I rarely pay attention to and don't remember well, visuals there are generally more variable. There is one distinctive visual effect, however - caleidoscopic images, like in a real caleidoscope, or, with a higher dose, true fractals, i. e. structures with self-similarity and not just any geometrical visual mesh. Those are present in NBOMe-2C-I as well, of course, and make this similarity with acid even greater.
